Egg is denser than vinegar. The egg will sink when placed inside a jar with vinegar. So to make the vinegar denser, one must add salt or other solute.

Does an egg have more dense then water?

The density of liquids really depends on the suspended matter in it. If you have really dense concentration of salt in water, yes it could be denser than an egg. If you have merely a weak solution of salt, then the egg is denser... it depend on how much salt you have in the water.


Why does an egg sink in water but float in salty water?

An egg sinks in regular water because it is more dense than water. When salt is added to water, it increases the water's density, making the egg less dense than the saltwater and causing it to float.


An egg sinks in fresh water but floats in a strong solution of salt why?

because following the density principle, the density of the egg compared to the density of the tap water is lesser....(the density principle states that an object or substance with lesser density will float on the surface of the substance or object which has the greater density...).....now,,,with salt,,, salt makes the density of the tap water to increase and increases also the salinity of the water making the egg float because the density of the water with salt is now greater than the density of the egg.... An egg will float when the density of the water is greater than the density of the egg. Adding salt increases the density of a salt water solution. Whether the egg floats or sinks depends on the condition of the egg as well as the amount of salt in the water. If an object is LESS dense than the solution that it is in, then it WILL float. If an object is MORE dense than the solution it is in, then it WILL NOT float. An egg is more dense than regular water; therefore, the egg will sink. But when you add salt to the water, you are making the solution more dense. The salt water's density becomes greater to the point that it is more dense than the egg. Because the egg is now LESS dense than the water, it floats.


Which has a greater density oil or vinegar?

vineger,because oil can flot on water which means its light but vineger is hever which stays on the grown


Does an egg float in water with flour?

In a mixture of oil and water, the two will separate with the oil on top. If the water has enough solute in it (salt, sugar), the egg will float in the water, but not above the oil. An egg is denser than fresh water, but less dense than salt water. It is denser than most oils.

Can vineger eat a egg shell?

yes it canbecause if you put the egg with the vineger together and let it stay in a gontainer over 2 days you will see that the egg shell is not there and the egg turns orange and brown


What makes a raw egg more dense?

A raw egg is not more dense than a boiled egg.


Why does boiled egg sink?

An egg sinks if it is more dense than water.

Why does salt cause an egg to float?

Floatation or boyancy is accomplished when a body displaces more mass than it possesses. Basically, if the water is more dense than the egg, the egg will float on the water kind of like oil on water. The salt dissolves in the water making it more dense until you reach the point where the water is more dense than the egg and then the egg floats.


How does an egg float on salt water?

Because the salt water is more dense than the egg.


How does an egg float in water?

The egg floats in water because it is less dense than the water and cannot fall below the surface. Anything that is less dense than water will float.


Why does an egg sink in water but float in salty water?

An egg sinks in regular water because it is more dense than water. When salt is added to water, it increases the water's density, making the egg less dense than the saltwater and causing it to float.


How do you know the egg will sink and water will float?

Normaly if an egg floats it is bad and should be discarded. As the egg ages air pockets enter the egg, that's why they float. A change in buoyancy. If the egg is more dense then the water (or whatever liquid it is in), it will sink.


Why is my egg floating in water?

Your egg is floating in water because it is less dense than the water. This means that the egg is lighter than the water, causing it to float instead of sink.

Why will an egg float in saltwater other than freshwater?

cuz saltwater is more dense than freshwater
